COCKTAILS
The BonVivant's Companion
Old-Fashiojied Cocktail
I dash Angostura bitters
I dash curacao
Piece of cut loaf sugar dissolved in
two spoonfuls water
I jigger liquor as desired
1 piece of ice in glass
Stir well, twist a piece of lemon peel on top.
The old way of serving these was for the Bartender to place the bottle
of whiskey on the bar and let the customer serve himself. ThaTs the
best way yet.
Olivette Cocktail
Use large bar glass half full of ice
2 dashes syrup
3 dashes orange bitters
3 dashes absinthe
I dash Angostura bitters

Stir with spoon, strain into cocktail glass, put in

Here's to you, my dear.
And to the dear that's not here, my dear.
But if the dear that's not here, my dear.
Were here, my dear,
I'd not be drinking to you, my dear.
